Question
I just got a mini horse and I want it to pull carts so how do I start training her.

Answer
Hi Samantha-
Thanks for the question. First off- how old is she? In my opinion, minis really shouldn't drive until they are 3 years old. You have 2 options: one is to train her yourself using books and tapes. The other is to have a professional train her and/or you. To start, you should begin with ground driving. If you're not sure what that is, definitely buy or borrow training tapes and books. Best of luck, Toni
